The phenotypic ratio in F₂ of a dihybrid cross is:
A3:1
B9:3:3:1
C1:1:1:1
D1:2:1
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 9:3:3:1
1. In a dihybrid cross two pairs of contrasting characters are followed at once.
2. Mendel crossed round-yellow seeded plants with wrinkled-green ones.
3. The F₁ generation was all round-yellow (both dominant).
4. F₂ self-cross gave four phenotype groups in the ratio 9:3:3:1.
5. So the F₂ phenotypic ratio in a dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1.
